We're famous (well, inside in Soweto office)



Today while we were roaming around the Soweto office we saw our pictures on their notice (bulletin) board. Not only was our picture posted on top of a hand made American flag; they also included our biographies, a count down of the number of days until we arrived, and encouragement for the staff to look for us and seek us out. We all chuckled about our new found fame... (better than having a wanted poster with our names and pictures. I'm including a copy of pictures for you to see. It was hard to get a really close image without a glare so you'll have to take our word for it too!

  2. 3G card working very well. Hospice Wits lent me one of theirs. All I had to do was go to the apple store for them to configure my laptop- took about 5 min! Much different than 2009...

  3. They have an Apple Store! Was it there in 2009 and we missed it or was it a byproduct of the World Cup games? Are the roads and drainage getting better in Soweto?

  4. Not sure how long the Apple store has been there. Jacqui says there are two- both inside shopping malls. Transportation is better in Soweto. There are new buses (and bus lanes) and trains too. We're actually taking one of the trains to the airport next Wed when we fly to Capetown.
